 PREFACE

Fruits, vegetables, flowers, spices and plantation crops are

economically important crop. They are very delicate and are highly
perishable. Fruits and vegetables are important part of our lifestyle and
diet. We grow crops for the sole purpose of harvesting them and consuming
them. Post-Harvest operation standards determine the actual quality of the
produce. An inappropriate post-harvest management can turn the entire
crop into rotten debris. There comes the need of optimum knowledge about
post-harvest management of horticultural crops. Value addition and
processing of those harvested produce is another side of the same coin.
Value addition and preservation not only helping to double the farmers’
income but it also help to overcome the market glut. Value addition and
processing ideas are need of the hour both at industrial scale and in farmers’
level. The book basically aims towards providing a distinct knowledge
about the post-harvest management, processing and value addition of
horticultural crops. The book deals with all the horticultural crops. The
details like their harvest management, their processing details and value
addition is highlighted there. Hence an attempt has been made to compile
27 important crops related to fruits and flowers in this part of the book and
made it available to the reader in a smooth way. Hopefully, the book would
prove out to be the very useful for not only finding recent research ideas
but also the latest topic on which research emphasis can be done.
